sorry, I didn't reply to the newsgroup but only
to the people who were
kindly wanting to help.
so here is an abstract for everybody to read:
-the problem is not to install the distribution but to install packages
-distribution is suse 8.1 pro
-discovered a menu in yast where one can change installation source to ftp
-but this doesn't work because
* maybe yast is missing some module for ftp to work
* or I have given a wrong URL (directory on ftp server)
I'm not sure whether this is quite what you want, but if all you want is
to install/update packages, I believe YOU (Yast On-line Updater) could
be your friend?
Instead of trying to change the install source (I haven't tried that in
a long time), have you tried to simply use YOU? It's in the same
"window" as the "Change Source Of Installation" setting.
